Top Evanston History Center Hotel Reviews

Graduate by Hilton Evanston

10/10 Excellent

"Very unique property in a nice quiet neighborhood. Valet was excellent!! Would definitely go back."

Rodeway Inn Chicago North Shore - Lincolnwood

8/10 Good

"This motel is good enough to stay in for a couple of days if you’re not picky about how the walls/doors look. It’s is an older building that clearly went through piping issue but the hotel seem to be on top of that, at least for my room. The staff were chill. No bed bugs, no roaches, good enough bed, towels were provided, tv works, clean room. This place is good especially since it one of the closest cheapest motels to downtown area. Also if you rely on public transportation, this motel is the way to go. This place did have WiFi stated on the list but was not able to connect to the WiFi for some reason on both my devices. That’s really the only negative I have. Yes parking is available and your in a safe environment from what I seen"
